I remember when people bought full systems, sat down, and just listened.
I do too. But it is hard to find a system anymore they quit making them....
will you marry me?
;-)
BTW, did you ever replace the VW?
Your wife wins!
You could will me your stereo? No? Probably a long line?
I did get rid of the VW.
VW bought it back. Combo of increasingly rough handling, poor engineering, being told that the Takada airbag would never be fixed, and a need to move to an automatic tipped it.
They bought me a Jeep Sahara fully tricked out, I think someone here referred to it as a ...Pavement Princess.
So I regally promenade up and down the roads here in town, doing the Jeep Wave to others in the Brotherhood... and feeling very cool.
Took me a while to figure out how to get into it without shocking the world. Now I am just fully cool.
Looking at a Volvo S60 for my next ride. Want something inconspicuous. I am wanting to road travel and want to do it in comfort. Problem, Volvo is going full electric?? Do I want to buy the end run of a company’s technology?
Face it after watching the problems in Malmo, I have decided that Swedish Volvo would be stupid enough to do it.
As for the old Pioneer receiver, today I'd probably buy an SX-850 and be just as happy (and not risk a hernia when moving it). The 1250 was deliberate overkill, and isn't worth the price difference unless you own really big, expensive speakers and want to turn the volume way up. The "smaller" models have all the good looks, the cool toggles and control knobs, the flywheel tuning, the same tone - just a bit less power. There are many to be found in the audio websites' buy & sell forums, as well as on Craigslist and eBay. Get one before the collector market really goes nuts.
